Gearbox Software announces they are the winner of the Homeworld IP
that was auctioned off as part of the bankruptcy of THQ (thanks nin). TeamPixel
indicated that the rights to the sci-fi RTS series had been sold to someone
other than them last
week in announcing refunds for their Kickstarter to buy the IP. Here's word
from Gearbox:

Gearbox Software has prevailed as the highest bidder in the
acquisition of the Homeworld franchise from THQ. Brian Martel, Gearbox
Software's Chief Creative Officer, has great love and respect for Relic's
brilliant, fun and innovative game and personally spearheaded the acquisition.

Brian intends as first priority to direct Gearbox's interest to preserve and
assemble the purest form of the original acclaimed and beloved games, Homeworld
and Homeworld 2, with the intent of making them accessible on today's leading
digital platforms.

Please visit the
Gearbox
Software Forums to share with us and Brian what you think should be done
with Homeworld moving forward. And, please try to get our attention if you have
capability and interest to join the effort in developing or enabling Homeworld's
future.
